More about this scene

This is a good example of a Board School. These were set up in the 1870s to provide education in places where no schools had been established by religious bodies. Boys and girls usually had in effect separate schools in one building, each with its own entrance.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My husband and I were married here in 1979
I live in Canada but knew that my grandfather came from King's Lynn and settled in Brantford, Ontario Canada. On a trip to the UK in 1995 I drove from London to Clenchwarton since my aunt had told me that's where he had lived. When I saw the first church I drove into the laneway and when I got out of the car I noticed a headstone that read Jesse Bartle - my great grandfather!!! What a great surprise.
